		<description>Time should only be a tool that let you pass through life quietly? We are living in a time when revolution does no longer happen randomly... many agents work to mold it in their favour... tims is no longer a teacher, it only remains as an ivestment of events.</description>

		<description>Well, Aftab S. Aslam. u did an interesting analysis of my article. Thats honour for me. Actually my relevance of the Maslow's theory and my walk not due to some political reason but about the basic needs Rotti, Kapra, Makan,, Electricity etc. That strike was about electricity. That were common mohallah people not influenced by any kind of activist but by the cries of their kids and hot humid weather. Hopes u got my point. thanx</description>

		<description>Good job Luqman! You wrote well and did good by reminding us the uneducated (not necessarily illiterate !) about Dickens' description of Paris and the subsequent French Revolution. If you think there's is any chnace of a revolution in the sense of Fraench revolution - I guess we can wait for an eternity considering our level of any revolutionary thoughts. Frankly, I am afraid what we see playing here might lead us further back down to more regression and decay here. Remember, the "revolutionary thinkers" here wish to transform our society back to some 1500 years! Qusetion &#38; challenge for those who believe in progress is whether or not they should sit on the sidelines as some helpless &#38; speechless spectators and let all what we have be destroyed in the name of some dogma by force of demagoguery and anarchy.

By the way, your reference to your walk and the scene in the end of July in Lahore and its relationship with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is interesting but irrelevant, considring the fact that those few hundreds are not driven by any of the 'needs' in Maslow's pyramid. Their only motivation is the false expectations induced by their leaders and some political party's manipulation - they are a misguided bunch of hooligans who have tasted street power. They are neither political ideolgist nor actvist for any social reforms, all they want now is their rewards for providing muscles to some politicians to twist the system to their liking and for their self - aggrandizement.  Let's be clear here I am talking about the lawyers as 'hooligans' here and politicians referred are obviously Nawaz League &#38; Imran Khan Tehreek &#38; Qazi League (last two are very well dfined and known supporters of the Talibans and their modus operandi of inflicting maximum death &#38; destruction on us the Pakistanis).</description>
